Gateway Center from Water Street   Large room on second floor of Gateway   Office-sized room on second floor of Gateway   Medium-sized room at Gateway   Oversized books and boxes made for the Scandinavian festival
THE GATEWAY CENTER,  located on Water St. off Foote Ave. just below WCA hospital. It's also the home of several other non-profits   Largest of our rooms on the second floor of the Gateway Center (formerly known as the Chautauqua Hardware building)   A smaller room for an office; the wood floors are strong and the light streams in those big windows   Susan S. checks out some of the other rooms that will become exhibit or workshop space. Note the high ceilings throughout!   BIGGIE BOXES: Created for our room at the 2006 Scandinavian Festival, to get a sense of the shrunken "Nils"

WALNUT GROVE FESTIVAL: We brought our tent, and fun from the 1800's, to the Fenton Museum on a rainy Saturday in August 2005   The challenge: to find old-fashioned crafts and games... like hoop-rolling, uphill!

SKY JAM 2005:  This year the balloons had gorgeous weather! CMJ was there on August 6.   Paper airplanes took off, as we watched real ones above and waited for the balloons.   Our colorful Ball Pit was a hit with the little ones.

 

  Our craft-du-jour was a wooden bookmark to decorate

 

  Bubbles floated to the  skies in abundance!

 SCANDINAVIAN FESTIVAL: 2005 themes were Pippi Longstocking and Hans Christian Andersen

All ages enjoyed our crafts! This young lady is creating designs at the Flag-making station.

We appreciated help from Project YES students, here demonstrating the Boondoggling

Crowns and princess hats were popular crafts (check out those sequins)

Outdoor events included Pancake-Flipping races, inspired by a Pippi story

FRIENDLY'S IN JULY: We held a successful fundraiser at Friendly's in Brooklyn Square

Restaurant patrons were treated to games, a craft and prize baskets.

Young visitors enjoyed the puppet theater experience

The Ballpit draws toddlers like a magnet. (A game is ready on the chairs behind him.)

Our thanks for Friendly's for their support of CMJ and many community organizations!
